Mate you simply don't get it. If you choose to blame video games by boycotting them over outside politic issues than that's a personal problem that needs to be voiced outside the gaming industry. Yes, you are blaming the good games by boycotting them and the good staff behind the hard work.

Blizzard are the ones with the "personal problem." This is a problem of basic human decency. 

If someone wants to use a brand to voice his opinion without the brands consent than that's there issue simple as that. Use the internet if they had a brain, its not that hard.

You have gone off your radar again here by thinking Blizzard is all for communism just because they are following the laws in Honk Kong. They are a business that wants to stay relevant. I don't blame them for acting up because Honk Kong most likely has a gun to there head saying punish or be banished from our country. Businesses care about making money and if majority of money comes from a country than id expect any brand to do what Blizzard did. Should I boycott the Mitsubishi brand because they made the Japanese Airplanes that slaughter many US Navy crew at Pearl Harbor? No I don't. Should I Boycott German Car makers because they made German tanks that helped slaughter majority of the world? No I don't.  

Well if that's really all it takes, then Blizzard should take the hit and be banned in the country. That's on China, not Blizzard. They didn't need China to become the empire they've become. Why do they need them now? The point isn't merely that they're doing business in China, it's that they are ACTIVELY supporting (and indeed engaging in) censorship at the whim of an oppressive regime. DIFFERENCE.

End of the day someone brought it to Blizzard, Blizzard isn't exactly going out hunting gamers for there freedom of speech, they punished a guy at there ESport for throwing there name into a warzone they probably don't want to be in. Good to see Blizzard is refunding the guy his rightfully earnt prise money so good on them.

The incest law was an example which again went over your head. If we allow anyone to speak up at any major events without any concsent from major brands than that means anyone can simple do it about anything. I don't want random cultist or Regilous people interrupting my shows and events to say they are right. Sorry I am not in for it and I wont be part of it. Gaming is a relaxing medium for some of us and I much rather it stay that way. 

Yeah no, it didn't go over my head at all. I understand perfectly clear what you're talking about and it's asinine. A young man expressing support for fellow citizens to not be silenced, oppressed, beaten, and even shot is nowhere near equivalent to "cultist" or even "religious" people expressing controversial or divisive rhetoric. The leaps of these "comparisons" you're making is utterly absurd. How you can remotely equate the 2 is beyond me.. HARMLESS free speech (which is what this was) should always be allowed.

Boycott Blizzard games, take it out on quality games, but I will say this, If Valve came out and supported the Nazi's and managed to make Half Life 3, I will be buying Half Life 3 and I could care less what political views they take. That does not make me Nazi. If you don't like my opinion you and any others can simply deal with it. I am all against Hong Kong for there actions taking place but bringing this up at Esports is simply stupid in my opinion.

Again, an astronomical and absurd leap in this "comparison.." Did you pull a muscle in making that stretch?

EDIT: There are some good people working at Blizzard that is against this behaviour so Boycotting the games those devs make, is a logically choice by you? I don't get it. You rather throw out there hard work, nice. That's why boycotting makes no sense to me because multi-billion dollar business blame the sales of there products on there internal staff like those good employees that don't want to get involved in the drama and just want to make a living are now the ones getting punished by that logic.

The first time you've come remotely close to making a semi-fair point: but this is the responsibility of the corporate heads of Blizzard. They're responsible and accountable for their employees and the blowback that comes from foolish decisions.  At the end of the day if their bottom line suffers, it's on them, and I'd wager most of the employees understand this. Employees are free to speak up, or go along with it, or outright leave - same scenario for ANY corporation who's struggling financially.

Show me where I said anything about unification?

I have a question for you ... 

Do you unconditionally support the dissolution of unions in general such as the EU and do you recognize China's sovereignty over Hong Kong ? 

"It is their decision how to react" so everything they do is just automatically correct and justified because... they're Blizzard. Yep your defense will forever remain laughably terrible for the reasons I have already gone over.

Oh snap you didn't deny it, just waffled and threw out baseless insults. I take it you really have no morality then. Combined with your continued willful ignorance of key points and information, I'm not gonna respond to ya no more.

There it is again. The arbitrary interpretation of my words. The same level of ignorance the polar bear displayed. From the very beginning you and others spew accusations  against others of basically being against human rights movement, basically supporting the chin. communist Party in what they're doing to the people of China. Ohyea, thats nothing compared to my baseless insults. Where did i say everything would be automatically justified in my eyes? It just so happens that i agree with their actions in this particular case. You dont. I can justify my position. You cant. It would be a different story if the banned player participated in the protest outside any blizzard event and they would ve took action. Then it would be a clear case cut.

Apperantely, many of you wannabe rebels arent aware of what is at stake.

Deployment of either PLA troops from their various barracks in the territory — or their People’s Armed Police counterparts now camped out just across the border in southern Guangdong province — could end Hong Kong as the world has known it since it was seized by British troops in 1841 and declared a crown colony.

You people really think it is a good idea to go to the extreme and take the risk, to provoke the chin. Government, to tease the PLA by laserpointing at them, that chaos and violence will be the ultimate solution and the international community will come to the rescue? Surely, better than to exercise caution and hope for gradual, peaceful change, right? Yea. Some chumps in this thread have proven they rather chose conflict over resolving an issue rationally and peacefully.

You wonder why Blizzard isnt keen to be a part of this and doesnt want to suggest to take a stance in this sensitive situation?

Mindless, programmed robots, not able to think for themselves, a healthy dose subtelty absent, merely reacting to stimuli for the sake of feeling righteous, a chance to proudly hold this shinny shield called "Morality" infront. The arrogance in your blatant thoughtlessness makes me want to... re-install battle.net and play some StarCraft. Or Diablo3. Or maybe buy the PS4 version of D3.

Why should I answer your question when you have yet to answer mine?

I heard a US streamer also spoke up not long after and Blizzard didnt do a thing about that protester because he didnt speak up at a Blizzard event and broke the rules. I will try to find the article.
